Chapter 311 Why Is Wei Yuan the Contemporary Military Saint and Ever-Victorious General?
The entire Yongan City was flooded.
Lin Zhaoyuan took advantage of the water to attack the city and regained Yong'an in just one day.
Most of the Liao generals fled and died. It can be said that the army was completely defeated.
Among them, Xiao Yan's death was the most aggrieved and useless. On the day when the city was destroyed, Wei Yuan was pissed to death.
Before his death, he cursed Wei Yuan. One day, he would bear the name of unfaithfulness, filial piety, benevolence and injustice and be infamy for thousands of years.
After Yong'an was recovered, Lin Zhaoyuan's army only rested for one day before attacking Tangyi again.
At this moment, inside Xiangzhou City.
When Yelv Ren first learned that Wei Yuan's three envoys had deceived Xiao Yan, he did not become angry. Instead, he belittled Wei Yuan's conspiracy in front of many Liao generals.
"Only children can play tricks like this!"
In terms of age or seniority, wouldn't Wei Yuan be just a child in front of him?
Yelu Guozhen said angrily: "I will cut Wei Yuan into pieces!"
The relationship between him and Xiao Yan is well known.
"Commander, now that Yong'an has been lost and Tangyi is in danger, Wei Yuan obviously wants to besiege our army in Xiangzhou."
"I wonder how our army can defeat the enemy now?"
A Liao general assessed the situation and suspected that Wei Yuan was setting up a conspiracy.
After this round is completed, the entire Xiangzhou will be in danger of being besieged from all sides.
In fact, Yelvren had already thought of his guess, but it was just as Wei Yuan thought.
The geographical location of Xiangzhou is so special that Yelvren is not willing to give up Xiangzhou at all.
Therefore, no matter what, the battle in Xiangzhou will be fought.
Now, the army in Xian Yelvren's hands is only about 230,000.
If we send troops to station around Xiangzhou, they will be defeated one by one by Wei Yuan.
In other words, Yelvren can do nothing more than watch the towns around Xiangzhou fall.
"Wei Yuan tried to annihilate our army in Xiangzhou. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. His military skills are much better than those of his teacher Zhang Fu."
"Give Yong'an and Tangyi to him. Doesn't he want to fight against Xiangzhou? Then let him fight! I want to see how much courage he has to dare to fight our army in Xiangzhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came, saying that there were 300,000 troops from Daming Mansion heading towards Tangyin.
After hearing the news, almost everyone was sure that Wei Yuan was really going to fight in Xiangzhou.
"Daming Mansion is now empty of troops. Maybe General Yeluxin can take over Daming Mansion first?"
"Yes, as long as Daming Mansion is captured, even Wei Yuan will be unable to do anything!"
"Daming Mansion has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. As long as our army occupies this city, the guards will have no time to worry about anything else."
"."
Once Daming Mansion is taken away by the Liao army, Bianjing will always be in a state of no danger.
Once Wei Yuan returns to support Daming Mansion, Yelv Renxian's army can make adjustments at any time and gain a crucial breathing space.
Therefore, when they learned that Wei Yuan was dispatching troops from Daming Mansion, almost everyone believed that he had made a foolish move.
But Yelu Renxian disagreed, "The terrain of Daming Mansion is steep and surrounded by mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wei Yuan has 100,000 troops left in Daming Mansion, which is enough to resist Xinxian's attack."
"One hundred thousand people are guarding Daming Mansion. Even if we can't hold it in the end, we can still hold it for a few months, right? After a few months, I'm afraid we will already have a winner against Wei Yuan."
Hearing the sound, all the Liao generals became more and more melancholy.
It’s not a fight, it’s not a fight, it’s not a fight, but what should I do?
"Cizhou, Handan, and Wu'an towns must be defended no matter what!"
"If the battle of Xiangzhou fails, our army will be able to resist with the help of Handan and other important towns."
After a brief thought, Yelvren believed that the key to the battle of Xiangzhou was not in Xiangzhou, but in Xiangzhou's rear area.
"If this commander were Wei Yuan, I would have already sent troops to attack Handan and other places at this moment."
"At this time, Wei Yuan holds an army of more than 600,000 people. It seems that there are many soldiers and generals, but in fact there are not many elite soldiers."
"If he divides his troops to attack Handan and other places, then there is no chance that he can capture Xiangzhou."
"Once our army defends Xiangzhou for half a year, the state of Zhou will have no choice but to make peace with our army due to the stalemate in national strength between the two sides!"
When Yelvren said this first, many Liao army generals had dim eyes.
Before Wei Yuan took command, they wanted to capture Bianjing and go south to capture the dragon.
But after Wei Yuan took command, Yelv Renxian, who was like an undefeated god of war in their hearts, could only try his best to deal with the Zhou army in order to gain more say at the negotiation table.
In other words, from the moment Wei Yuan led the troops, Yelv Renxian's plan to go south to capture the dragon was officially declared shattered.
But there are still many generals who are unwilling to believe this.
"Commander, there is something that I don't understand about the last general. Everyone says that Wei Yuan is an ever-victorious general and is powerful in the world."
"It's a good idea. The battles Wei Yuan participated in were the battles between Yanmen and Daizhou. Ordinary border conflicts occurred from time to time. Isn't this considered an achievement?"
Some Liao generals were puzzled.
As soon as he finished speaking, more and more Liao generals expressed their confusion.
"Yes, Wei Yuan has not fought many battles in total. The world says he is brave, and we all agree with this. But it can be said that he is a contemporary military sage and an ever-victorious general. It is really puzzling for him to be a champion at the end of the world."
"In the battle between Yanmen and Daizhou, he was not the real leader. Even if he was to become famous, it should be his teacher Zhang Fu."
"Did you just blow it up? But I always feel that Wei Yuan is supposed to be a victorious general, which is quite weird."
"."
To be honest, Wei Yuan never led a large-scale army or launched a large-scale battle.
How did his reputation spread?
During the Battle of Bianjing, Wei Yuan led a tired division, which frightened many of his colleagues.
Why?
Yelvren looked at everyone one by one, "Do you all have this doubt?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Yelv Renxian made a long speech: "In this case, I will tell you, the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy will be victorious in a hundred battles. This will not increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige."
"Although the only major battles Wei Yuan participated in were the battles of Yanmen and Daizhou, these two battles can be called national wars."
"In the Battle of Yanmen, Wei Yuan only relied on a few thousand troops to make it difficult for our army to advance, and ultimately returned without success."
"In the Battle of Daizhou, although Wei Yuan did not command any major battles, he played a vital role in the overall situation."
"After that, Wei Yuan wrote two military training methods, which can be regarded as the culmination of ancient military training."
"On weekdays, you only think that the commander is the one who knows how to use the art of war to march and form formations. In fact, when two armies are fighting, what they are competing for is national strength."
"Strategies in the art of war cannot increase national strength, but training in the art of war can. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, all countries were able to dominate only by possessing a powerful army."
"For example, Wei Wuzu, Hufu cavalry and archery, etc. It can be seen that only by training an army well can it achieve victory in every battle in a true sense, and Wei Yuan's military training method is unfathomable."
"In addition, he also carried out a certain degree of military reform in Yanbian, which borders Xixia, so that the scattered armies can be united into one rope, so that the Xixia army cannot advance even today."
"Bravery, resourcefulness, military training, and reform of the military system. When these things appear in one person, isn't that person enough to be called a contemporary military sage and an ever-victorious general?"
After hearing what Yelvren said first, all the Liao army officers and soldiers lowered their heads, and many secretly cursed Wei Yuan as a monster.
Yelvren first saw that after hearing what he said so much, they actually became wary of Wei Yuan. After a pause, he smiled at everyone and said:
"Of course, this so-called contemporary military sage, the victorious general, is the title given to him by the people of Zhou Dynasty. I don't recognize it."
"In my eyes, Wei Yuan is no different from a fledgling boy."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and smiled relaxedly.
Yelvren also laughed with them first, but his smile felt somewhat forced.
In his mind, in time, Wei Yuan will become a military sage!
